A data buffer, generally used to represent a chunk of a MessageBody.

data is a BusName because that's generally convenient; in some situations you may need to cast it to uchar or another type.

Creation methods:

  • public Buffer (MemoryUse use, uint8[] data)
    Creates a new Buffer containing data.length bytes from data.
  • public Buffer.subbuffer (Buffer parent, size_t offset, size_t length)
    Creates a new Buffer containing length bytes "copied" from this starting at offset.
  • public Buffer.take (owned uint8[] data)
    Creates a new Buffer containing data.length bytes from data.
  • public Buffer.with_owner (uint8[] data, void* owner, DestroyNotify? owner_dnotify)
    Creates a new Buffer containing data.length bytes from data.

Methods:

  • public Buffer copy ()
    Makes a copy of this.
  • public void free ()
    Frees this.
  • public Bytes get_as_bytes ()
    Creates a Bytes pointing to the same memory as this.
  • public void get_data (out unowned uint8[] data)
    This function exists for use by language bindings, because it's not currently possible to get the right effect by annotating the fields of Buffer.
  • public void* get_owner ()
    Gets the "owner" object for a buffer created with Buffer.with_owner.
